Solemn

Famous quotes containing the word solemn:

“See, Winter comes, to rule the varied year,
Sullen, and sad, with all his rising train;
Vapours, and clouds, and storms. Be these my theme,
These, that exalt the soul to solemn thought,
And heavenly musing. Welcome, kindred glooms!
Congenial horrors, hail!”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)

“There are people who believe everything is sane and sensible that is done with a solemn face.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
